What does it mean for Saul to have been anointed?

Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter 3 Article 8

The sermon explores the theological complexities of predestination and election, emphasizing the need for pastoral sensitivity when addressing these topics. Drawing from the Westminster Confession, it highlights the assurance believers can find in their effectual vocation and the importance of recognizing the Holy Spirit's work in their lives, manifested through gifts, a hatred of sin, and a desire for repentance. Ultimately, the message underscores that teaching about God's sovereign choice, while potentially challenging, can reveal His glory, affirm His power, and even inspire repentance and faith, as demonstrated through the historical account of King Saul's anointing and subsequent prophetic abilities.
